Forgive
What I cannot Say
Nero,
My sweetest little brother,
One who would never hurt,
One who could never lie or betray,
One who always made us smile,
Was it my fault a frown has graced your beautiful face?
Innocent.
Angeal's beloved puppy has left this world?
I will not mourn for him, for it was a fate he would have desired,
To be close to the one who loved him most.
Still…
His smile will be something I will miss,
If I ever wake.
Again.
I know Sephiroth returned,
I woke, but I remained,
Sitting in silence, because it wasn't my place to stop him.
I wasn't strong enough, as you say,
I couldn't look into his eyes and see his inner turmoil and know he suffers at my hand.
Never.
I declined for a reason, little brother,
From when we were children,
I always wanted you and Weiss to stand on your own feet,
Don't rely on me,
Things just end up in disaster when I'm behind them.
Endless.
Every path I choose seems to lead to the same fate.
That disaster I try to avoid.
To make the world perfect, things just fell apart.
To see you fly on your own, only to watch you fall.
Don't loose yourself to your own darkness.
Promise.
Weiss,
My dearest little brother,
One who always tried a little too hard,
One who always tried to protect us,
One who made up for my mistakes,
Is it my fault you are no longer of this world?
Pure.
Promise me, little brother,
You'll erase all of my digressions,
That you will heal the world,
Because I cannot.
Broken.
I have lied to you in the course of lying to myself.
I'm not waiting,
I'm hiding from the destiny I set out for myself.
Because I burned my own paradise.
Destruction.
I stay here,
Dreaming of you,
How it felt inside you,
How you screamed and writhed,
How your eyes clouded over as you lost control.
I wish for nothing more than to go back to those days,
Dream.
I watched you grow,
I watched what our parents did to you,
How sick you were,
Even then you still smiled,
Always.
Thank you Nero,
Learn to smile once again,
If only just once,
If only just for us.
Forever.
I'd give everything to save you from this fate,
I'd like to say every I've done was for you,
But I failed you.
My sweetest little brother,
Forgive me.
